sawdustA bit like when you see bullheads in a bar, you can always spot an inauthentic travel piece on Sevilla that talks about all the “spit and sawdust” bars here, with napkins strewn all over the floor. I’ve lived here for over 23 years and the very few bars in the centre that used to put down sawdust have long since stopped this practice. But every now and then you find one. This was taken at Taberna Azahar, a bar I’ve been planning to go to for ages (mostly for the name, truth be told). It’s up in the Macarena barrio, not a place I frequent very often. Anyhow, although they still put down sawdust, there are little bins throughout the bar for paper napkins.

Curious though… does anyone know of any other “spit and sawdust” places in Sevilla?

travel writing

So check it out – this is my new SimonSeeks page. There’s not a lot written yet as I’m just getting started, but by the end of November it will be filled with all kinds of fabulous information about hotels & other sorts of accommodation, restaurants & tapas bars, monuments & sights, shopping, nightlife, culture and lots of other useful info written by a local resident. Me.

I’m quite excited about this new challenge and I like that they want me to write in a casual and personal manner. They don’t want it sounding like a stuffy tourist guide. And most importantly, they want what I do best – to provide up-to-date info and opinions about My Sevilla.

You all know how much I love this place.

I’m looking forward to the London meeting in September. I’ve also started a SevilleExpert Twitter account and from now until deadline will be researching and writing like mad.
